3.6 Web-based IP configuration
With the Basic Settings:Network dialog you define the source from which the device gets its IP parameters after starting, and you assign the IP parameters, define the handling of the VLAN ID and configure the
HiDiscovery access.
Choose the operating mode (see on page 17 „Configuring the applica-tion“).
3.6.1 IP configuration in Transparent Mode
In the “Protocol” frame, you enter where the device is to obtain its IP parameters :
X Select “DHCP” if the configuration is to be performed by a DHCP server on the basis of the MAC address or the name of the device (see page 52 „System Configuration via DHCP“).
X If “DHCP” is not selected, the device uses the network parameters in its local memory.
Select “Use VLAN Tag” if you want the device to evaluate the VLAN tag of the data packets received. If this function is active, you can only access the management of the device VLAN entered in “Management VLAN ID”
(see below).
The “Management VLAN ID” line enables you to assign a VLAN to the interface for the management of the device (see “Use VLAN Tag” above).
Entering local IP parameters
Enter the IP address of the device in the “IP Address” field.
Entering the IP Parameters 3.6 Web-based IP configuration
In the “Gateway IP Address” field, enter the IP address of the gateway to which the device is to forward data packets whose destination address is outside its own subnetwork.
Enter the netmask in the “Netmask” field.
Getting IP Parameters via DHCP
You enter the name applicable to the DHCP protocol in the “Name” line in the system dialog of the Web-based interface.
Configuring the HiDiscovery protocol
The HiDiscovery protocol allows you to allocate an IP address to the device on the basis of its MAC address. Activate the HiDiscovery pro-tocol if you want to transfer an IP address to the device from your PC with the enclosed HiDiscovery software (setting on delivery: active).
Save IP configuration
Save the settings so that you will still have the entries after a restart (see page 72 „Editing and managing configurations“).
3.6.2 IP configuration in Router Mode
In Router Mode, the device requires the IP parameters to be entered on the internal and external interfaces.
In the “Protocol” frame, you enter where the device is to obtain its IP parameters :

59 X If “DHCP” is not selected, the device uses the network parameters in
its local memory.
Select “Use VLAN Tag” if you want the device to evaluate the VLAN tag of the data packets received. When this function is active, the device drops all data packets received whose VLAN tag contains a VLAN ID different to the one entered in this dialog.
The “VLAN ID” line enables you to allocate a VLAN to the interface.
Entering local IP parameters
Enter the IP address of the device in the “IP Address” field.
Enter the netmask in the “Netmask” field.
In the “Gateway IP Address” field, enter the IP address of the gateway to which the device is to forward data packets whose destination address is outside its own subnetwork.
If you want to allocate more than one IP address to an interface, you can press “Create” to enter additional IP parameters in the table below.
You require multiple IP addresses on an interface if you want to connect large flat networks with different subnetworks at one port.
Getting IP Parameters via DHCP
You enter the name applicable to the DHCP protocol in the “Name” line in the system dialog of the Web-based interface.
Configuring the HiDiscovery protocol
The HiDiscovery protocol allows you to allocate an IP address to the device on the basis of its MAC address. Activate the HiDiscovery pro-tocol if you want to transfer an IP address to the device from your PC with the enclosed HiDiscovery software (setting on delivery: active).

3.6.3 IP configuration in PPPoE Mode
In Router Mode, the device requires the IP parameters to be entered on the internal interface. The device gets the IP parameters for the external inter-face from the connection provider.
In the “Protocol” frame, you enter where the device is to obtain its IP parameters :
X Select “DHCP” if the configuration is to be performed by a DHCP server on the basis of the MAC address or the name of the device (see page 52 „System Configuration via DHCP“).
X If “DHCP” is not selected, the device uses the network parameters in its local memory.
Select “Use VLAN Tag” if you want the device to evaluate the VLAN tag of the data packets received. When this function is active, the device drops all data packets received whose VLAN tag contains a VLAN ID different to the one entered in this dialog.
The “VLAN ID” line enables you to allocate a VLAN to the interface.
Entering local IP parameters
Enter the IP address of the device in the “IP Address” field.
Enter the netmask in the “Netmask” field.
In the “Gateway IP Address” field, enter the IP address of the gateway to which the device is to forward data packets whose destination address is outside its own subnetwork.

The HiDiscovery protocol allows you to allocate an IP address to the device on the basis of its MAC address. Activate the HiDiscovery pro-tocol if you want to transfer an IP address to the device from your PC with the enclosed HiDiscovery software (setting on delivery: active).
Entering PPPoE connection parameters
Enter the connection parameters that you got from your provider for the connection.
X Username X Password
X MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
The MTU specifies the maximum frame size that this connection can transmit. If larger data packets are to be transmitted, the Firewall fragments the larger data packet into multiple small data packets.
